Lancult Haas, who said he was from the village of Tibalagi, was a boy of the same age with blonde hair as the Iolas. He wears tailored, little, beautiful ethnic plain clothes, not school building uniforms.

"Brother Gu, no, that girl... said she's from Tibalagi Village!

Riola rushed over to my side with a complex look mixed with surprise, joy and confusion and grabbed her arm and rocked it small.

"Guru! I wonder if the village is back to normal!?

Iola has the same look of surprise as Riola.

Apparently, I may have been a little confused. The words' ravaged by the Demon King's Army 'and' exterminated 'stopped thinking and didn't try to find out any more.

"Indeed... the exact death record of the villagers (...) is nowhere to be found in the first place. In other words, it also means that the King's Government of Metanostadt has' not been able to investigate '…"

Above all, this is how Iola and Riola live, and considering the story of the villagers who fled at a later date, "the village was wiped out" was an exaggerated story, wasn't it confused by that?

In the first place, it was the village of Tibalagi, which had a larger area than the village of Finobocchi. No wonder you're fleeing into the vast northern woods.

"Well, maybe my father and mother!?

My brother (Iola) sparkled his eyes. But vice versa, my sister (Riola) can be clouded. It was clear what the difference in expression meant.

"Io... I don't have it"

".................. Oh, yeah. Right... right. Sorry..."

So Riola grabbed Iola's sleeve and stopped talking. Iola drips a little.

And so an international loud applause echoed into the great hall.

Needless to say, we're in the middle of a cultural festival right now. Iola and Riola, let's revalidate the two stories (...) later.

"I'm sorry. Iorio. Let me hear more about the village later. You guys can ask the podium kid later."

"Yes," "Yeah."

- But... we have to make sure. Go to Tibalagi for Iola and Riola.

"Lord Grey! What are you doing!? Lord Plum will be honored next!

"Oh, huh?

Lu invited me in a whisper and told me where Pram was coming from.

If I noticed, with Hemperoza as my escort, Plum was just ascending the stage nervously.

The two of us hold hands, the youngest compared to the other winners.

Warm applause is sent for the appearance of two particularly adorable winners.

"Kitahhhh! She's cute, she's cute!? And you two are holding hands. Yeah!

One of the judges on the stage, Tsukune Kuneis, is fiercely uplifted to give me an international big round of applause.

It's behind the hall where we stand. It is disputed by a large crowd of people. It is more than ten mertes away. Can you see me and my people from Plum?

And I try to stretch my back in a jerk.

"Brother Ergo, no!

"Hey, Kigu-ja!

The two men who went up on the stage first raised their voices toward the ergonote they first saw.

"Ha! You're both adorable today!

Ergonote also looked at the two of them and gave them a painful and bright grin, getting back on track as usual. But you immediately remembered your "position," he put his hand on his lips with one eye closed.

"Shh! Right?"

"Difficult."

Neither Plum nor Hemperoza on the boulder seems to be a child so indistinguishable as to dash on the stage and jump on the ergonote.

"Here, here! In front of the princess, stand properly!

I tell the two of you to be proper in the way the guards who were holding back under the altar panicked. Plum thought about it for about two seconds, then surely stretched his spine straight to give him a weird salute.

Laughter and applause boil from the venue.

"Hmm, don't be absurdly harrassed"

"Nervous. I guess we're both okay..."

Manuferno grips my left arm tightly.

On the altar, Princess Courtilt Snuvel, the first princess of Metanostadt, was finally about to award Pram a small medal of remembrance.

"You're Pram Grecas, aren't you?

"Yes, it is -!

Plum takes an upright immobile position with a slightly nervous face.

"Hehe. You don't have to be nervous....... Your painting was so wonderful. 'The Kingdom Ahead' No, I thought it would be the perfect fit for the theme of the future of mankind. Is that... is that your friend?

"Yes it is -! Mi-na, guys, I'm a friend of Plum's. Yo! Greg to Hempero, Sister Manu, Sister Rio, Brother Ergo, Brother Ren, and... Lu, Cat, Sister Spi, Brother Io. No, uh, Colo, Larna!

"P, come on Plum!?

"And anyway, guys, we're friends -!

When Hemperoza goes into a scratch-resistant plum that keeps telling her she can't hold her breath, the venue is huge.

But it is true that in Pram's paintings, humans, half beasts, half insects (Innosextians), on the contrary, even rats and slimes join hands and smile like a ring of connections.

"That's nice. One day... I wish the world could be like this"

The princess gently put on a small medal of a torso with a string around the neck of the plum. An even louder applause rings, enveloping the venue.

- If Pram's dream is the future of mankind, its ideal, why don't I just help?

When I noticed, Metius stared quietly at Princess Snoovel with the same hair color on my shoulder.

"But how can a princess... seem sad?

"Really...?

I'm confused by Metius' whispering.

Sad?

Doesn't look like it to me...

Princess Snoovel smiled quietly and looked around at all the winners. And gracefully thank the people gathered at the venue.

And...

In an unceasing applause, the princess's blue eyes narrowed and her gaze fixed on me.

At that moment, it seemed as if the sound had accidentally disappeared, as if it had also been played with the magic of time suspension.

Princess Courtilt Snoovel's lips spin "words" that you're not supposed to hear.

"To us - if the future really exists"

... What do you mean?

Time begins to flow again. The ceremony will eventually be over and the prams will be back.

I embraced the plum that came running over with a smile, even as I felt many moya things.

"Greg! Greg, look! The princess gave it to me!

"Oh! Good for you, Plum"
